Darren Carroll is the mastermind behind the lens as the chief photographer for the prestigious PGA of America. Darren's role goes beyond capturing the intense competitions; he's responsible for documenting all the captivating moments surrounding the organization's championships—for the PGA, its sponsors, and its remarkable 29,000 members.
May is when things kick into high gear for Darren. That's when the PGA Championship, held at the magnificent Oak Hill in Rochester, NY (one of his absolute favorite golf venues on the planet), takes center stage. But wait, there's more! Darren also embarked on an unforgettable journey to Twin Warriors Golf Club, just outside Albuquerque, for the PGA Professional Championship.
Whether it's gathering the champions of yesteryears for a memorable group photograph at the annual past champions dinner, focusing on the branding that graces the course, capturing breathtaking images of the frosty landscape, or attempting to freeze the beauty of the golf swing and the raw emotion of the competitors, Darren's days on assignment for the PGA are a blend of exhilaration and fulfillment. Long, challenging, and oh-so-rewarding, his passion shines through every frame he captures for the PGA.
